In most music videos now a days the stars are featuring in the music video either playing as a band or just being a character in the video, the reason why they star in the music video is to grab the viewers’ attention to the video and to promote not only the band but the star themselves, this will also then make the band more recognisable.

In other music videos they can be made animated, which will then be abstract and grab the viewers’ attention to the video which will then allow them to watch the video and listen to the song so they get into the music, this will make the band more recognisable and also the video due to it being different to other videos that are currently out.
